Our 'Generative AI Environment Construction Service' Acquires AWS Foundational Technical Review (FTR) Certification

We are pleased to announce that our 'Generative AI Environment Construction Service' has acquired certification from the 'AWS Foundational Technical Review (FTR),' a technical review conducted by Amazon Web Services (hereinafter AWS).

The AWS Foundational Technical Review (FTR) is a review system that technically validates solutions and services provided by AWS partners from the perspectives of security, reliability, and operational excellence, based on AWS best practices. Acquiring FTR certification technically confirms that the target solution is designed, implemented, and operated in accordance with the common requirements set by AWS. This certification is positioned as one of the important decision-making factors for companies to use cloud services with confidence.

Generative AI Environment Construction Service Cresco's Generative AI Environment Construction Service addresses challenges faced by companies such as 'wanting to utilize generative AI in business but having concerns about security, governance, and integration with existing systems' and 'being stuck at the proof-of-concept (PoC) stage and unable to proceed to company-wide deployment.' It is a service that builds a dedicated environment on the cloud for safely and efficiently integrating generative AI into business operations. We build a generative AI environment utilizing generative AI platforms like Amazon Bedrock on each customer's cloud environment. By integrating with internal data and existing systems, we support value creation directly linked to actual business, such as improving back-office efficiency, enhancing inquiry responses, and promoting knowledge utilization. Furthermore, by designing with security and governance in mind, including access control and log management, and utilizing RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) for internal information searches, we realize an environment where companies can use generative AI company-wide with peace of mind. We also offer flexible customization with an eye toward everything from implementation to operation and usage adoption.

Future Outlook With this FTR certification, it has been proven by a third-party technical review that Cresco's Generative AI Environment Construction Service is designed and operated in line with AWS best practices. Cresco will not limit generative AI to 'some advanced initiatives' but will position it as a foundation for expansion into a wide range of business areas, including back-office, core business operations, and customer contact points, and will support the utilization of AI agents and the advancement of entire business processes. By doing so, we will enhance customer services and improve operational efficiency through AI utilization, providing an environment where customers can concentrate on their core value-creation activities, thereby contributing to strengthening their competitiveness and increasing their business value. We will also continue to expand our services and aim for business growth as a partner that supports corporate generative AI utilization at a practical level while incorporating the latest technologies and knowledge from AWS.
